totchipandaI can't believe its been 6 weeks already since a fave actor was cast in a show. I'll just stop hiding since this info is super easy to find, but the show is Hadestown and the actor is Jack Wolfe (I know him from Shadow and Bone). He debuted on Tuesday and there are already slime recordings, one of which is a 46 second clip from my favourite song (Wait for Me) that I listened to for, no joke, an hour and 15 minutes solid.
The trio of myself, Trick and M were talking about going to NYC together for a show. I was initially planning for later this year because we don't know how long Jack will be there. Trick is headed to the east coast in February and they (along with their partner) were planning a day or two on either side of that trip to detour through NYC to go. February definitely works better for me, so I made sheets for both November and then, just to compare.
We have since found out that Jack's event management confirmed he would not be at a con in London at the end of February because he would be on Broadway still. So we have felt empowered to decide to go. M and I probably could manage it a bit sooner, but I am so thrilled with the idea of all three of us (plus partner) going together so we can hold each other up. Trick and partner invited me to their east coast event too, but if M was able to go, then I wanted to spend a few days in NYC with her since we have been talking about this for years. (She planned it first. I said that sounds great, let's do it -- someday. We never had a firm reason before now.)
Current plan is for M and I at least to fly in Monday, do touristy shit that evening/Tuesday-day, see the show Tuesday night and sob our eyes out, maybe catch a matinee on Wednesday, shows on Wednesday and Thursday evenings (we have already accepted that there are too many shows and not nearly enough time or money). In the days, up til mid-day Friday, we are planning to visit the met, the natural history museum, at least two bookstores, grand central station, the public library, a ferry around staten island if it's running, Brooklyn Bridge is a reach I think but it's on the list of "yes I want to see this", try pizza and bagels and tacos, and just generally LIVE NYC life for 2.5 days. M said it was convenient that we are the same people and want to see the same things lol. But we will have to have an actual itinerary that's not so strict as "1-2pm, book store", but we will need to look at what we want to do and how much we can group together.
We are like, SO excited. It still doesn't feel real. We've only just committed to buying tickets on the weekend as that's the thing we don't want to risk missing (no danger of it yet, but best availability and all). We figured we can sell them if things don't work out.

Anyway, the point of this is that you should check into those options, which might save you a little bank.
